We went to go see Bodies at the Luxor. @matthew and I took Alex and
the baby Mickelson nephew.

Baby Finn was fine during the exhibit. Then we spent the next hour in
the car as he screamed. Having babies is hard. I never realized how
hard it was to move around with a stroller. We couldn't even make it
two blocks wirhout major obstacles.

@terry took his other two nephews to adventure dome.

There are footprints all over the ceiling and walls of the parking
garages. Some of them are like 12 feet in the air.

People must take off their shoes and hit them everywhere. It's in
like every place so it must be a thing.

This place is so multiculti. Where do they speak hmoob?

I bought the old people sun glasses that go over your prescription
glasses. I feel like a true snow bird now at age 31.

As soon as we got over the Hoover dam, I saw lake mead and a sign to
the beach. It was so hot and the water looked so pretty blue.
@terry reluctantly drove down there as he hates sunshine. I popped
our of the car and ran right into the water. It was so nice. No
getting used to cold, no nasty smell or green funk, or foam, or
debris. No dead fish or fish smell.

The air felt hot like a hair dryer. It was the best swimming moment I
ever had. Then five minutes later it was over as they were already
waiting in the car for me because it was too hot out. I wish @mike
was here to be my beach buddy.

Speaking of which I am now in vegas for four days and I'm not so much
into gambling. Anyone has any other good suggestions.

Almost all the water is gone. It looks like a hundred feet down from
where it started. I can see why they want our water. It's sad how
wasteful they are with it. Maybe dessication will teach them a lesson
about conservation.

Both @matthew and I decided we would defend the great lakes with our
lives.

The speed limit is 75mph but I was the slow one driving 85. At one
point I was going 95 downhill and some people still passed me. I was
fine taking a pic of the speedometer at 85 but at 95 I was too
nervous, so here you go.

It's so crazy deep. The last time I. Saw it, it was much browner. I
never was in northern Arizona during monsoon season. It is so green.
I think this year is particularly green as they had serious flooding
in the canyon.

I suggest anyone who visits flagstaff, AZ take the time to eat at
Black Bart's steakhouse. It is a steakhouse where all the waiters and
waitresses sing and dance on stage. They are also all students of the
NAU music school, @terry is an alumnus of it.

I never thought we would ever make it back to flagstaff. I love it
here. I saw the only person I really knew here sitting on a park
bench but I was too shy to say hello :(
